What is the keystroke to pick the next option up in a list given by auto-completion when using atom editor in Vim mode?

As I know, when editing a file in Vim, the auto-completion will give a list of possible options for the editor to choose, and Ctrl+p allows choosing the previous option while Ctrl+n the next option.

Does anyone know the counterparts, except the arrow keys, when using Atom in vim mode?

I don't think there is anything besides arrow keys available, but you could override ctrl-n and ctrl-p key-bindings in atom-text-editor.autocomplete-active selector. In order to do that you have to edit keymap.cson (search for Application: Open your Keymap in Command Palette Ctrl+Shift+P) and add this:

'atom-text-editor.autocomplete-active':
  'ctrl-n': 'core:move-down'
  'ctrl-p': 'core:move-up'

It will trigger only if auto-completion list is active.
